Second, it’s kind of sad when people get upset when businesses are trying to focus on including 75% of the population by somehow saying they aren’t the most qualified. Only a business idiot would intentionally exclude 75% of the talent pool. |

You mean like the multi-billionaire companies that have bowed down and have Black people in 99 percent of the commercials when they are only 13 percent of the population? How about the Asians and Hispanics which are a bigger percentage but not in every commercial? This country has compromised to be P.C along with the Military. They have sacrifice because they're weak. |

Taking financial advice from Cramer is like taking financial advice from a Magic 8 Ball.

It is relevant in the fact that their C-Suite exhibited some of the worst decisions imaginable in their investment and risk strategies. They had ample chance in early 22 to cut their losses on the bonds incrementally and not cause the run they did when they took the big loss all at once. They had a full year to fix this risk, that has been fairly obvious for over a year to even us idiots. Rates go up, fixed returns go down. Stupid easy. I worked for a company based in CA that had 3000 technical employees. As a senior manager, I was told that I always should hire the best qualified. So when a package went forward to HR (People Ops for the PC folks), I was almost always grilled on my choice if it did not fit into a protected class. I was asked to "look again", or, "are you sure there's nobody else as well qualified?" These questions were always asked by a non-technical person. Look, I need someone who is able to provide a detailed analysis on a flyback dc/dc converter in less than two days for a billion dollar spacecraft that is paid for by tax dollars. Excuse me if I don't give a flying **** what the hired person's sex, race, creed, religion, sexual preference, or anything else is. I want the absolute best I can find, and I regularly paid top dollar to get them. Back to SVB. They could have survived this independent of the current inflation that crippled their long-term bond sale. They did not. If I was an investor/depositor whom stood to lose big money, I would subpoena all of their hiring records, including interviews and decision meetings to ensure they utilized a strategy that was always in my best interest. Small addition... The .gov buying the liability is no better than the student loan buyout. |

Diversity, affirmative action are signs of weak people..
When you hire someone, their experience, merit, should be the primary focus. What do they bring to the table. SVB, like many other companies are Marketing/Virtue Signaling that they hire the handicapped, thats all. So, if these people they hired are so qualified, lets see their qualifications as opposed to a company that had similar situation, yet succeeded. Then look at their people that didnt fail? |

Key points from link above: December ‘21, $10B in interest rate swaps to hedge rising interest rate risk. April ‘22, Chief Risk Officer stepped down(appointed Aug ‘16) from role, departed October ‘22 December ‘22, interest rate swaps are gone. It’s probably criminal-level hubris, negligence, and stupidity. But in a world where the biggest slices of the warfare pie are economic and political, a counter-intelligence investigation on this sounds like a good idea. |
